Bournemouth have lost 11 of their 14 Premier League games against Arsenal, though all three exceptions have been in home games (3-3 in January 2017, 2-1 in January 2018, 1-1 in December 2019).

Since Bournemouth returned to the Premier League in 2022, Arsenal have won all four of their meetings with the Cherries by an aggregate score 13-2, netting 3+ goals each time.

Each of Bournemouth’s last 10 Premier League wins have been against sides in the bottom half of the table. The Cherries are winless in their last 11 against sides in the top half since beating Manchester United 3-0 in December last year (D4 L7).

Arsenal’s 3-1 win over Southampton last time out was their 1,999th top-flight win. Victory here will see them become the second side to reach 2,000, after Liverpool (2,065).

Arsenal are unbeaten in all 10 of their games in all competitions so far this season (W7 D3) – they last had a longer unbeaten run from the start of a campaign in 2007-08 (first 21).

Bournemouth have had more shot ending high turnovers than any other side in the Premier League this season (18), while only three sides have faced fewer such shots than the Cherries (6).

Arsenal have won 10 of their 12 away Premier League games so far in 2024, with their only two failures both coming away against Manchester City (0-0 in March, 2-2 in September).

Bukayo Saka has scored 49 Premier League goals for Arsenal. Aged 23 years and 44 days on the day of this game, a goal against Bournemouth would make him the youngest to net 50 for the club in the competition (11th player overall).

Kai Havertz has been involved in 20 goals in his last 21 Premier League appearances (13 goals, 7 assists). His first goal for Arsenal came in this exact fixture last season, netting a penalty in a 4-0 victory.

No player has more secondary assists (the pass before the assist) in the Premier League this season than Arsenal’s Thomas Partey (3).
